Memo to al-Zarqawi

Yer screwed, bub.

A group of armed men in Iraq is threatening to kill Jordanian-born militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

The masked men appear in a videotape sent to Al-Arabiya TV, calling themselves ``Salvation Movement.'' In the video, the previously unknown group orders al-Zarqawi to leave Iraq immediately, and questions how he could justify killing innocent civilians.

Three men with rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons deliver the threats while flanked by an Iraqi flag.

One man says the group is preparing to capture or kill al-Zarqawi and those who give him shelter.


How this plays out could be interesting. Of course, the last line is telling:

U.S. officials say the Jordanian -- who is said to have links to al-Qaida -- is behind a series of deadly attacks in Iraq.

Amazing, how US Officials say that Zarqawi is behind the attacks, eh? Maybe because HE HIMSELF CLAIMED CREDIT FOR IT! Golly gee gosh, maybe that's too simplistic for the AP.

Then again, maybe the AP is a bunch of cocked-up asshats. I'm voting for the latter.
